The Gordon’s Children’s Academy is based in the Strood area. Our Junior and Infant school work closely together to ensure that all staff and children work together as one. We are lucky enough have a passionate workforce at our school who all care for and respect the fantastic children of our school.
We are dedicated to school improvement, and we all aim to provide a happy, safe and fun school environment for the children, and our staff too. We have high expectations of behaviour, and we recognise that it is our responsibility to listen to the children verbally or by interpreting their behaviour. Pupils of Gordon’s Children’s Academy are proud of their school and have an exciting environment around them to learn in, we encourage use of a creative curriculum, and all children enjoy decorating their classroom whilst they focus on a particular topic across the curriculum.

“There is a clear expectation for how children behave and conduct themselves. Pupils are always encouraged to be their best selves."
